Similar to the Aaron craft could be a qb cause Greg paulus did it argument.

Question: From just kinda-sorta watching the commercials for it, what I got was "The dude from Taken in a movie that's essentially like Taken except it's not called Taken". In reality, is that essentially true or is it something different that just got marketed like that for whatever reasons?

Just was going to bring up Fury.
looks pretty good. Been trying to find out if it was based, even loosely, on a true story or not.

Fury looks like it's either going to be really good or really bad with no middle area

I thought the same thing going in, but really the only similarities is Liam Neeson is in it, and there is a kidnapping. This isn't Neeson being a badass all movie.

I also concur. Strange movie. I thought the acting was excellent. The ending sucked and the movie started dragging in the middle.

My wife knew the ending because she read the book. I didn't. I loved the entire thing. Until the end. I cannot stand movies that don't come to some type of conclusion.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I have read the book. I had the same reaction at the end of the book. Didn't care for the ending.

It's safe to say that I'm never watching this movie.

The book really is excellent. I didn't "enjoy" the ending, but I thought it was cleverly written. Not everything has to have a happy ending that is all wrapped up in a nice little bow.

This. I think the problem I had with the ending is I just hoping it to end a certain way and when it didn't end the way I wanted, I was disappointed.

7/10. Giant rock things were kinda badass, and I thought the interpretation of the story was creative (in a good way), but it was WAY too long.
Get out of here. I thought Noah​ was terrible. Rock people? Are you serious?

Sure. Why not? It didn't have a limp ending.

I don't mind a not-so-happy ending (see above about Noah). The way people make it sound reminds me of the Grapes of Wrath book. Steinbeck ended the damn thing in the middle of a somewhat climactic (if you can call it that) event. It felt like he wrote 90% of a book and then gave up.

An ambivalent-turned-benevolent character amid the protagonists and antagonists. I appreciated more than just two sides entering into the mix. They looked weird, but hell, there are plenty of movies with weird-looking characters.

As I said, I thought it was way too long, but otherwise, what was so bad about it?

Yeah..it could be. Read the book and if they do it right it could be great.

...and with the trailer....I dont believe he shoots the kid/woman, they were just turning in what they had found.
(not a spoiler...dont recall it in the book....just what I think)
